betty gilpin is unstoppable. unflappable. incredible. simply the best. the supporting cast is also nothing to sneeze at (god bless character actress margo martindale). and damon lindelof delivers with a timely commentary on (of all things) spirituality, faith, magic, and "artificial intelligence."

One of the greatest, and most interesting actresses of recent times. Dalle was street scouted in the 80s to audition for the lead of Betty Blue, and impressed the director so much with her raw talent that she ended up playing Betty.
I recommend her performances in Betty Blue, Night on Earth, and Trouble Every Day. All vastly different, but she's incredibly compelling in all three. There's a rawness and realness to everything she does, and she's never afraid to go to the darkest, craziest, and ugliest places. Also, her interviews are wild (most can be found for free on YouTube or on the Criterion Channel).

this movie was seriously so good!!! keke palmer is a seasoned actor so i knew her performance would be on point, but ms. sza also really kills this role. is there anything that woman can't do?! i thought the characters were really believable and our two mains are just impossibly lovable, even alyssa who's lowkey making silly mistakes the whole time... i laughed, and i almost cried several times too! dreux and alyssa are better together, their collective brain is too powerful

the first thing to be said is that this recommendation applies equally to everyone
the next thing to be said is that you have, inevitably, been suffering from a cocktail of depression and anxiety for more than a decade, and this has made you incredibly tired
what you need is to make NYE plans with a good friend you haven't seen in years; she will bring you out to the club and it will be fuckin rad; you'll buy some cute clothes and she'll do your makeup, despite these not being things you really ever do, and you'll forget how much you typically disdain your appearance for one night
next, you're going to have to just read for awhile, books and essays and youtube comments and text messages
after enough reading, you'll have your own thoughts and questions, and you'll inevitably see someone else asking the question "am i trans?"
reading this question will naturally lead to you asking yourself: "am i trans?"
the answer is yes
at this point, you have transitioned into a girl, and everything else is just showing off; decide on a new name; get a therapist and a doctor who are supportive; pump your body full of the hormones it needs; get some cute new clothes and burn your old shit; ask for help picking out and doing your makeup
stop treating your body like a shipping container for your sad brain; transform it into the hot girl your brain already knows you are
